3. Three Key Recommendations
Dear students, whenever, you are asked questions, consider the next three issues carefully!
  • Understanding Questions:
    • Before giving/choosing your answers, you must make sure the question is about what  (it is about what)!
    • Do this both while practice and also on exam!
  • Avoiding ''I know'' Habit:
    • Don't jump questions/worksheets saying "I know/I did it before!"!
    • Do this always while practice!
  • Using Paper, Pen + Answers:
    • Do the questions on paper: by writing your answers on paper assume yourself as you are on exam!
    • After you complete, don't forget to get correction (see the correct answers: at the END)!
====Wish you nice practice!====
